Old Ellicott City is a nice half day trip. There are different shops and good eateries and bars. There is an axe throwing/VR place for activities besides eating and shopping.

There is a parking lot off Oella Ave just as you turn off Frederick Rd. There is another lot further up Main St on your left just after you pass Old Columbia Pike.

We’ve had very good luck with them upgrading our boiler system from oil to gas and doing annual service. We did have to wait for days for service one time, but that’s because there was a big snow and the plows skipped our street. As soon as we got plowed we called them and they came out the same day. We didn’t need a part so there was no further delay.

We’ve also called them for basic plumbing repairs, but I’d go to a different plumber for that stuff from now on.

I’ve only seen mudlarking on the (London) Thames videos. Would love to have something like that here.

ETA: quick search of YouTube didn’t turn anything up.

We challenged and won - we used SDAT for square footage of property and residence, number of bedrooms/baths and what those properties were assessed for. Ours was way higher than others on our street and we by no means have the biggest house. We used all that info to challenge. We were reassessed because we bought the house that year and put considerable work into it, converting from three apartments to a single family home.

I agree with Atwater’s in Catonsville. Also, I love The Trolley Stop in Oella; it’s located just off Frederick Rd just over the bridge as you leave Old Ellicott City. We eat breakfast or lunch there a couple of times a week
